题目内容
5、Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. He was a natural motivator. He told people how to look on the positive side of the situation.
One day I went up to Michael and asked him, " How can you be a positive person all of the time?"
Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood."
"Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life."
Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital. I saw Michael about six months after the accident.
Michael told me, "When they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action."
" There was a big burly（魁伟的）nurse shouting questions at me.”
"She asked if I was allergic（过敏的）to anything.”
“'Yes’, I replied.'”
“The doctors and nurses stopped to wait for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'."
“Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead!’"
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
LIVE IS ABOUT THE LITTLE CHOICES WE MAKE EVERY DAY

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I’d be twins!” He was a natural motivator.
One day I went up to Michael and asked him, “I don’t get it. You can’t be positive all the time. How do you do it?”
Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself ‘Mike, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood.’ I choose the first. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.” Michael continued, “Life is all about choices. The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live life.”
Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower. I saw him about six months after the accident. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
He said, “I first thought of my soon-to-born daughter and then remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live. I knew I needed to take action. So when a nurse kept shouting questions at me asking if I was allergic to anything, I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Gravity’. Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I’m choosing to live.

positive to say.
One day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don't get it. You can't be positive all the time. How do you do it?" Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself 'Mike, you have two choices
today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I
choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining (抱怨), I can choose to accept
their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."
I often thought about that when I made a choice about life. Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communication tower. After l8 hours of operation, and weeks of i
ntensive care, Michael was released from the hospita
l with rods placed in his back. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael
replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could
choose to die. In the operation room, I told the doctors and nurses, 'I'm choosing to live. Operate on me
as if I am alive, not dead'."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.

C. people would envy for his positive life attitude
D. people wouldn't take seriously
B. learn from it
C. complain about it
D. ignore the negative side of it
B. most people can't lead a positive life at any time

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I’d be twins!” He was a natural motivator.
One day I went up to Michael and asked him, “I don’t get it. You can’t be positive all the time. How do you do it?”
Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself ‘Mike, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood.’ I choose the first. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.” Michael continued, “Life is all about choices. The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live life.”
Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower. I saw him about six months after the accident. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
He said, “I first thought of my soon-to-born daughter and then remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live. I knew I needed to take action. So when a nurse kept shouting questions at me asking if I was allergic to anything, I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Gravity’. Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I’m choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead’.”
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
1.Which of the following statements is true?
A. Michael is a person whom people don’t like very much.
